According to PHD, Sea Tow relied on tape backup for years, but after switching its environment to VMware, the company chose PHD Virtual Backup to perform local backups, and uses PHD's CloudHook to move data off-site to Amazon S3.

Sea Tow offers 24/7 on-water assistance to boaters and has about 100 locations across the U.S., Europe and the Caribbean, according to the company's website. According to a statement, Sea Tow said PHD's Instant Recovery feature can recover data in a matter of minutes.

Jason Buffington, senior analyst at Milford, Mass.-based Enterprise Strategy Group, recently reported in a survey of 325 IT and data protection professionals in which respondents were asked about how well their data protection skills matched organizational goals for virtualization. Buffington noted that firms that placed a premium on data protection were also more likely to say their virtualization goals lined up with backup skillsets.

PHD said it has about 6,500 customers worldwide.
